摘要

先前健康和免疫能力的22岁男性表现为迷惑性精神病。通过从脑脊液中培养血清A型新型隐球菌,后来发现隐球菌脑膜炎是潜在的病因。两性霉素B和5-氟胞嘧啶联合抗真菌治疗导致所有精神和身体功能的持续改善。隐球菌病在中东很少有报道。这是科威特发生的第二起案件。

Cryptococcal meningitis and confusional psychosis. A case report and literature review.

A previously healthy and immuno-competent 22-year-old man presented in confusional psychosis. Cryptococcal meningitis was later found to be the underlying cause as proven by culturing Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A from the cerebrospinal fluid. Combined antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine resulted in sustained improvement of all mental and physical functions. Cryptococcosis has rarely been reported from the Middle East. This represents the second case from Kuwait.
